FAQ

What is the difference between AC-21, AC-22, and AC-23A ratings for this switch?

These are IEC utilization categories. AC-21A is for switching of resistive loads, including moderate overloads. AC-22A is for mixed resistive and inductive loads. AC-23A is for switching of motor loads or other highly inductive loads, which is the most demanding application listed here.

Can I use this VVE 0 switch body with any Vario series handle and shaft?

The VVE 0 body is designed to be compatible with Schneider Electric’s Vario series accessories, such as the VZ shafts and VCF handles. However, you must ensure the selected components are rated for the same size and application to maintain safety and proper function.

The label says VVE 0 but also shows a 25A rating, while catalogs often list VVE 0 as 20A. Which is correct?

The technical data label on the device itself is the most reliable source of information. This specific unit is rated for a thermal current (Ith) of 25A under the AC-21A category. Always install and fuse the device according to the specifications printed on its label.
